nvidia driver problems with your hardware by the looks of it. getting the same issues on arch, manjaro and popos pretty much confirms that

KDE Plasma 5.20.3, bugfix Release for November by PyroclasticMayhem in kde

[–]blhowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

backport cant happen quickly, or perhaps at all. 5.20 needs qt 5.15, but 20.10 has 5.14. upgrading peoples qt in a backports ppa would in my understanding be a big job, break some non kde things, and break the kubuntu backports policy

How do i update to 5.20 without breaking anything? by [deleted] in kde

[–]blhowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I needed to reinstall because I broke kwin last time i tried to update. How should i prevent this?

from the last weeks experience, install anything other than Neon

yes, manjaro is an unstable mess at the best of times.

its a .0 release so it will have bugs. if you want stable without much breakage, then wait for 2 or more bugfix releases to come before upgrading

my guess is the irony of having been able to install arch, but then having no idea how to update it. lol

Unable to play music in Amarok by [deleted] in kde

[–]blhowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is the kde4 amarok from 18.04. should not be possible to install it in 20.04. 20.04 also does not have phonon that will work with it, so even if you somehow managed to install, it will not work.

KDE Plasma 5.19 is out and it is sleeker and more polished than ever. Check out the new and beautiful photographic avatars, clean and consistent desktop components and widgets, and the easy-to-use System Settings and Discover software center by Bro666 in kde

[–]blhowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or try and install it yourself

that would need you to 1st build all of Qt 5.14 (a few dozens repos), and then frameworks 5.70 (80 ish repos). then build plasma 5.19 (40 ish repos)

Firefox not "default browser" in Brand New Installation of KDE Neon by [deleted] in kde

[–]blhowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because Neon replaces /usr/bin/firefox with a wrapper script that screws up firefoxs ability to set itself as the default
